These ten students are spending their summer diving into research that advances the understanding, treatment and prevention of neurological disorders. From day one, this program has been about investing in what’s next for our field and setting the stage for the next generation of neurosurgical innovation: https://t.co/lRPKtUajLd #MedEd #FutureNeurosurgeon #NREF
WashU Neurosurgery had a strong showing at #CNS2025. Medical students earned Best Poster awards in Spine and Data Science. Faculty led talks, panels, and debates driving progress in the field.
Proud to be at the forefront of neurosurgical research and education.
New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Arash Nazeri, Aristeidis Sotiras, et al:
Characterizing the spatial patterns and determinants of cerebrospinal fluid pseudorandom flow in the human brain with low b-value diffusion MRI

I'm excited to announce that Jennifer Lawrence's thesis work is now out! Check it out here:
JCI Insight - Microglia drive diurnal variation in susceptibility to inflammatory blood-brain barrier breakdown https://t.co/0qVgKm8W86
✅it out! Immune cells (#microglia) shape angiogenesis in the developing brain 🧠 and with infection, can lead to #germinalmatrixhemorrhage. Proud of lead author @JiapeiChen@UCSFGradDiv who drove this story from the start and I got to watch her grow.
